Abstract The superconducting transition of a YBCO film was measured by a MPMS-5 superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer, using a zero-field cooling process. The experimental results have shown that there are positive magnetic moment and positive peak on the $M$$-$$T$ curve. We have proven that these anomalous behaviours are due to measurement error, but not phase transition. We have proposed a simple formula to explain and to calculate quantitatively these anomalous behaviours. It was found that, provided dH>0.59Hp (dH is the inhomogeneous field of the remnant field, Hp is the fully penetrated field of the measured sample), the experimental results will be positive, not negative. If dH≥2Hp, the experimental results will be symmetrical to their real negative values. From the $M$$-$$T$ curve, which has positive moment and positive peak below Tc (superconducting transition temperature), we found a new possible method to obtain Hp of the measured sample.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
